Based on offering, the market is divided into Software and services. In 2023, the software segment accounted for a market share of over 73%. Agriculture analytics Software encompasses a variety of offerings designed to optimize farming practices through data-driven insights. Software in agricultural analytics includes platforms for data management, visualization, predictive analytics, and farm management systems. These tools are used to analyze data on crop health, weather conditions, and soil quality. In March 2024, the USDA announced a partnership with Microsoft to develop a cloud-based analytics software platform. It aimed to provide farmers with real-time insights into crop conditions and weather forecasts, improving decision-making and resource management.
Based on farm size, the market is categorized into large farms and small & medium farms. The small & medium farms segment is expected to reach over USD 2.5 billion by 2032. The adoption of agricultural analytics among small and medium-sized farms is growing as these farms seek to enhance productivity, sustainability, and profitability through data-driven insights. Mobile-based applications are becoming increasingly popular for small farms due to their accessibility and ease of use. These apps provide on-the-go access to analytics tools, enabling farmers to make real-time decisions. In March 2024, the FAO highlighted the impact of mobile apps in its report on digital agriculture, noting a 40% increase in productivity among smallholder farmers using mobile analytics apps in pilot projects. Agriculture analytics helps smallholder farmers in decision-making and resource management.
In 2023, North America held a share of around 32% of the market. The agriculture analytics market in North America is driven by technological advancements, government initiatives, and the need for sustainable and efficient farming practices. The integration of advanced technologies, such as AI, ML, IoT, and blockchain, into agricultural analytics has gained significant traction in the region. These technologies are enhancing precision farming and data-driven decision-making. In February 2024, the USDA launched an AI-powered analytics platform to support precision agriculture, aiming to optimize crop management and improve yield predictions through advanced data analysis.
North America, particularly the U.S. and Canada, is adopting advanced technologies and making substantial investments in agricultural innovations. Continuous advancements in technology and increased investments in R&D are driving innovations in agricultural analytics in the region. In May 2024, the National Institute of Food and Agriculture awarded USD 50 million in research grants for the development of advanced analytics tools to support data-driven agriculture.
APAC countries, such as India, Japan, China, Indonesia, and Australia, are adopting advanced farming technologies. The integration of IoT devices with big data analytics is gaining traction in APAC. These technologies enable farmers to collect and analyze real-time data on crop conditions, weather patterns, and soil health. In February 2024, Japan’s Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, and Fisheries reported the success of its Smart Agriculture Program, which integrates IoT sensors and big data analytics. This improved crop yield predictions by 30% and reduced water usage by 25% in pilot regions.
